Refrigerant Piping Insulation; Refrigerant Piping Length And Height Difference; Connecting The Refrigerant Piping; To Connect The Refrigerant Piping To The Outdoor Unit - Daikin R32 Split Series Installation Manual

NOTICE
The piping and other pressure-containing parts shall be
suitable for refrigerant. Use phosphoric acid deoxidised
seamless copper for refrigerant.
▪ Foreign materials inside pipes (including oils for fabrication) must
be ≤30 mg/10 m.

Depending on the applicable legislation and the maximum
working pressure of the unit (see "PS High" on the unit name
plate), larger piping thickness might be required.

Refrigerant piping insulation

▪ Use polyethylene foam as insulation material:
▪ with a heat transfer rate between 0.041 and 0.052 W/mK (0.035
and 0.045 kcal/mh°C)
▪ with a heat resistance of at least 120°C
▪ Insulation thickness

If the temperature is higher than 30°C and the humidity is higher
than RH 80%, the thickness of the insulation materials should be at
least 20 mm to prevent condensation on the surface of the
insulation.

Connecting the refrigerant piping

DANGER: RISK OF BURNING/SCALDING
CAUTION
▪ No brazing or welding on site for units with R32
refrigerant charge during shipment.
▪ During installation of the refrigeration system, joining of
parts with at least one part charged shall be performed
taking into account the following requirements: inside
occupied spaces non permanent joints are not allowed
for R32 refrigerant except for site made joints directly
connecting the indoor unit to piping. Site made joints
directly connecting piping to indoor units shall be of non
permanent type.
5.2.1 To connect the refrigerant piping to the
outdoor unit
▪ Piping length. Keep field piping as short as possible.
▪ Piping protection. Protect the field piping against physical
damage.
WARNING
Connect the refrigerant piping securely before running the
compressor. If the refrigerant piping is NOT connected and
the stop valve is open when the compressor is run, air will
be sucked in. This will cause abnormal pressure in the
refrigeration cycle, which may result in equipment damage
and even injury.
CAUTION
▪ Use the flare nut fixed to the unit.
▪ To prevent gas leakage, apply refrigeration oil only to
the inside of the flare. Use refrigeration oil for R32.
▪ Do NOT reuse joints.
1 Connect the liquid refrigerant connection from the indoor unit to
the liquid stop valve of the outdoor unit.

NOTICE
It is recommended that the refrigerant piping between
indoor and outdoor unit is installed in a ducting or the
refrigerant piping is wrapped with finishing tape.
